Well, I'm not sure what happened to the majority of our post last week. The first half (the part that is missing) was a huge excited outburst about the Flake's news. It was the highlight of our year and still the most talked about event in our family. The boys and Alex and I are absolutely delighted! Congratulations to Jenn and Scott!
Ian was sick pretty much this whole week. He got left home alone today while the rest of us went to church and thought he was going to die of boredom. Luckily, so far, the germs haven't spread and the rest of us have felt fine.
We got snow this week which is always a thrill and Jack and Peter have spent a good part of every day since, playing in it.
Ruth and I had fun painting some Christmas ornaments this week. It's part of an advent kit that I found. So fun!
We had our big Come Follow Me implementation meeting for Primary today. I'm getting so excited for it! We got our Come Follow Me for Individuals and Families book from the bishop when we went in for tithing settlement and can't wait to get started. It's going to be great!
Jack is loving indoor soccer and learning about outer space. He's been on a big kick about the Mars rover and is learning a lot about it. The other day he hopped on a program and had to fiddle with different entry angles, parachute deployment times, heat shield disengagements, rocket booster initiation, etc...to try to get his own rover landed. It took a lot of messing around with and adjusting, but he finally got it landed successfully. He worked on it for almost an hour before everything aligned and he didn't crash or burn up. He is a persistent little fellow!
Peter has taken a real interest in the piano these days and spends a good chunk of his days banging away trying to pick out tunes by ear. It is fun to watch that process, but sometimes I miss the electric piano and its volume control or headphones option.
Alex traveled to Boise this week and made it home safe and sound in spite of the weather. Hooray!
He went for an affiliate training and had a good time with his business partners over there.
I have been reading ALOT. This might sound normal, but it has been a real lot since I've been trying to finish up a library reading challenge along with my Old Testament that we started at the beginning of the year and then Pres. Nelson's Book of Mormon challenge. My eyeballs are shot. But I have read some really good stuff, so that's nice.
Hope all is well with you all and I'm looking forward to seeing everyone at some point this month hopefully! It wouldn't be the holidays without at least a glimpse of all my favorite people!
